0.00 A- Take a section of the “Cougnets Interpretation Trail”, turning left into the alley opposite the Café, which continues on a path that rises steadily up the Cougnets valley. The path passes by old barns scattered across ancient meadows.
At a ruin, leave the wide path to turn right and continue uphill.
0.30 B- go straight on. Once you've reached a group of barns, take the path on the left. It leads to the mine barren. Here begins a forest track leading to the Anglade mine road (1230m), which you take on the left as far as the buildings (you can also reach this point directly by following the road past Salau and continuing along the old private mine road).
0.50 C- (alternative start) The path to the cirque runs between two buildings and rises sharply.
It progresses through undergrowth. Do not take the forks on the right, as they lead to former mine workings.
1.45 D- Cirque d'Anglade :
2.00 E- Continue along the bottom of the Cirque, which is remarkably flat, to the small waterfalls. Return by the same route
